As is often the case it comes down to sponsorship. Part of what drove Roush down was the loss of sponsors. Does Carl take Subway, Fastenal, others with him?
If so, then I'd say look at a successful team that has room to grow. Penske? Carl has been tied at the hip to Ford, so that seems the most logical choice since it's "only" a two car team. But Penske is a thoughtful manager, does he want more than two? That leaves Petty in the realistic Ford camp, but can they handle another team? They haven't shown much management skill to support that. Gibbs? They could grow to another team, but again, do they want to? No room at Hendricks, Stewart-Haas. RCR seems to be struggling much like Roush, and sponsors have been, well, let's say, not knocking down their door. Ganassi............don't think so. The only other team with enough size/backing I can think of is Waltrip. They've been struggling for sponsors as well, but may still have help from Toyota. Maybe?Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
